Great initiative, especially the part about including teens from social peripheries. Inclusivity in tech education is so important. Hope similar programs can be launched here for students in rural India and tier-2/3 cities. The digital divide is real.

$1 million is a good start, but honestly, for foundational AI research spanning 3 years, it seems a bit modest? Google can surely do more. Meanwhile, our Indian government's allocation for AI in the budget needs a serious boost. We're playing catch-up in the core tech race.

Focus on algorithmic efficiency and privacy is the need of the hour. As AI gets integrated everywhere, these are critical. Indian startups working on AI must prioritize data privacy and efficient models suited for our infrastructure. Jio, are you listening?

Good to see global collaboration in science and tech. Knowledge has no borders. Hope the research outcomes are shared openly and benefit the wider community. India-Israel ties are strong in tech and agriculture, maybe an AI research corridor is next? 🤔

The 'BITS of AI for teens' program sounds brilliant. We need exactly this in India – sparking interest in AI at the school level. CBSE/state boards should introduce foundational AI concepts, not just as an optional subject. The future is here.
